6000k or 8000k headlights?

Im pretty sure this would be classified under electronics, If not sorry guys

Im picking up some headlights pretty soon but im haveing trouble picking and choosing. I can either go with 6000k or 8000k, Im not really to sure of the difference beside i think one is more blue then the other.... Is there a huge difference between the two? What would you all suggest? Im looking to display a good amount of blue so i was thinking about the 8000k but i dont want it to be annoying to other drivers and police. Im also not sure if 6000k is going to be good enough. I tried searching on youtube for comparison video between the two so i could get a good visual but they all suck.

Thanks for thinking about other drivers. Here in Houston we have a ton of F-150s with awful bright blue aftermarket headlights. It's a plague.

I have 8000K and I am getting a little bit tired of them. They really don't put out too much light and the blue has just gotten a little annoying to me. That said IMO 8000K you will see the blue from any angle. With 6000K there is a definite bluish tint, but the blue is more apparent when looking at the headlights from an angle.

It may bother drivers but who cares if you want the bluest blue go with 8000K
